My main organizer is a golden coil planner that I keep on my desk. Digital organizing has always been tough for me (out of sight out of mind issue) so I have to keep things physical. And golden coil is amazing because they are literally the most customizable planners I’ve ever come across. I’ve been using one since January and it is awesome!

@KateCavanaugh 3 года назад

Oooh that's so cool!! I love my physical planners but then if I don't bring them with me, I completely forget what's on them bahaha. I'll have to check out the Golden coil planner, it sounds really cool.

@therogueeducator8452 3 года назад

Same here. I’m very right brained and lose track of everything I can’t see out on the desk or counter :) I use a weekly Erin Condren and a daily Passion Planner for my own projects. I use an hourly weekly Passion Planner to track my family’s schedule stuff.

@Ericaaaaaaaaaa 3 года назад

Kate, I'd love a video on how you save, store, and back up all your writing, videos, etc.! I had a scary moment yesterday where I couldn't access any of my Scrivener documents (they're okay now!) and it got me thinking maybe I should pay more attention to this stuff! 🙀

@KateCavanaugh 3 года назад

OHMYGOD. I'm glad everything is safe! I don't have a very good system, really. Your comment is inspiring me to get better! I use Drive & USBs mostly.

@S-N-Forge 3 года назад

The main way I've been organizing has been through GUILT. I mostly just roll through life until the internal guilt monitor in my head pings me that I have an obligation. It pings a lot.

@mercurialthrills9011 3 года назад

Notion has been a life changing program with the different templates, especially knowing there are other templates and widgets to add into the program. I used to use OneNote, Egenda, Sticky Notes, and a tangible Kanban Board for planning everything. Now I use Notion because it's far more versatile than using four different methods. I will, for sure, check out those templates. They will come in handy.

@KateCavanaugh 3 года назад

Yessss! I'd love to hear what templates you love too. It's totally taken all my haphazard organization across a bunch of other places and corralled it into one. So much easier to see everything at a glance, which is what I've wanted/needed for years.

@mercurialthrills9011 3 года назад

@@KateCavanaugh I like the Life Wiki template because it looks like an outline of the pages I use for life. I keep my weekly goals and plans there. As well, I love the "Task List" which has replaced the tangible Kanban Board.

@creatively_tash 3 года назад

I love seeing other writers/creators organisation systems!! ☺️ I'm currently using Notion to create my outline, I use one of the boards for my scene cards and worldbuilding. It's also perfect for embedding all my Google docs! 😍👌🏽 I'll probably do a video at some point ☺️

@AdaraWrites 3 года назад

I use spreadsheets for just about everything, but it's always great to hear about other ways to organise a writers/author life. Thanks for sharing.

@beyourselfstudios 3 года назад

I love Notion so much and use it for literally everything ✨ I think I’ve watched every Notion tour video out there since they are kind of addicting 😂

@baileybarquin9343 3 года назад

I just started using notion last week and I was literally thinking you'd love it so I'm so glad to see you use it! I enjoy putting my outlines in Notion because of the little toggle feature, I can have every chapter on one page but not see all the details unless I chose to!

@marybeougher2953 3 года назад

I’ve been loving Notion. I’m using it to track my quarterly goals right now. Sarra Cannon has a great video on how she uses Notion as a writing tracking journal. Such goals.

@LAL7887 3 года назад

@floraandthefaun51 3 года назад

I'm listening to Ashley C. Ford's memoir "Somebody's Daughter" right now and I highly recommend it! She describes instances from her childhood and looks back at her observations as a kid and the connections she drew between those observations with both an unflinching gaze and such compassion.. it's pretty phenomenal. PLUS the audiobook is read by the author herself, which, YES please! :-)

@savanna_harvey 2 года назад

YEEEEEES! I love Notion for writing. I do a ton of research for each project, and it makes it so easy to backlink and database everything from articles to podcasts 🖤🖤🖤 It's a bit of a learning curve, but now that I've got it down, I use it for EVERYTHING!!

@taylorjohnston1875 3 года назад

The day before you posted this I had a friend talk me into giving Notion a try, so perfect timing! I always love seeing how other writers organize their lives :D

@Anisa-ig6xw 3 года назад

Notion has been life changer like I've tried various apps to keep track of stuff to save journals but never stuck to one but Notion? It has never failed me. I love it

@RKStumblingbear 3 года назад

I do not stay organized. 😅 I'm working on finding a method. I don't do well with physical planners (because I stop updating them) or digital planners (because I forget they exist). For my story ideas I have a bulletin board on my wall with notecards of my various story ideas and where I am in the writing process of them. And I started a few months ago tracking my writing and reading in a small monthly calendar setting. Following Ninja Writers advice, I give myself a sticker after ten minutes of writing, and I color the square if I read for ten minutes as well. Then at the end of each month I take a picture of it and send it to a writer friend and sister.

@hjstackofbooks 3 года назад

For other authors using Notion, have you seen Sarra Cannon's video on her notion setup? :)

@CelesteJoan 3 года назад

@AbiofPellinor 3 года назад

Not me thinking the thumbnail showed stickers on your tablet 🤣🤣🤣 and I organise with a mess of loose papers. Which is probably why I’m not organised

@SDHegyes 3 года назад

I have 4 pen names at the moment. One is a combo with a friend of mine where we plan to co-write some projects. At the moment, I'm focusing on my main one though (S.D. Hegyes) which I currently write paranormal romance under but will publish any and all fantasy subgenres under. I use blank calendar sheets to plan out a publishing schedule currently as well as my phone calendar to plan videos. I like the look of notion though with those templates, so I might have to check it out. My only issue is that it's online and I really struggle with internet at the moment...

@heidrunm5621 3 года назад

Thank you for this new video! I have just today morning watched plenty of your videos again and have been working multiple hours on my wip afterwards. Thank you for motivating me to continue writing! :) p.s. I love your writing vlogs and advice videos! That are the only videos on RU-vid that I watch that are sometimes maybe a bitttt longer than 15 mins.. ;)

@KateCavanaugh 3 года назад

Aww yay! I'm so glad! I'm hoping to have a new one in that style soon. :)

You had me at Publishing schedule and Kanban board. Now I have another rabbit hole to go down. Also I did try the Canva for 30 day free trial back in April and was able to play around with Chapter headers and made my own Twitch Panels that I still really really love. I ever get the chance I would gladly pay for the full version again.

@racoon2623 3 года назад

i’m very bad at organizing! this month i’m trying to track words in google sheets just to see what’s up, but what i normally do is if i have a free afternoon i’m just like “okay we have 4 hours, one for this, 30 mins for that, etc” and that’s the extent of my organizational skills

I need yo try Notion to organize my to be written list. I have 39 story ideas on my list and my Google Spreadsheet is getting out of hand...😅 (At first I wrote 15 ideas, because I didn't see the rest of the stories... as I said... getting out of hand)

@KateCavanaugh 3 года назад

OMG story idea lists really do just keep exponentially growing. Definitely give it a try! You can also access it on your phone so it's really similar to Google Sheets in that way.
